International comparability
The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) has responsibility for the professional accreditation of engineering qualifications and is also a signatory of the Sydney Accord. The signatories are committed to development and recognition of good practice in engineering education. The Sydney Accord is specifically focused on academic qualifications dealing with engineering technology. The Accord acknowledges that accreditation of these academic qualifications is a crucial foundation for the practice of engineering technology in each of the countries or territories covered by the Accord. It recognises the importance of the roles engineering technologists as part of a wider engineering team. Even though the term engineering technologist is used, it is mindful that these are often termed differently within the specific jurisdictions. It also includes roles such as; certified or applied science technologists, which may also be called associate or incorporated engineers. Currently the signatories that make up the Sydney Accord include Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, USA, Malaysia, Korea and South Africa. The Exit Level Outcomes and level descriptors defined in the institution's qualification are aligned with the International Engineering Alliance's Graduate Attributes and Professional Competencies, and thus provide for transfer and employment within those countries party to the agreement.
